About us

Our company
Edelhirsch Software GmbH was founded in 2019 by Peter Hartmann in Munich (Germany), after having worked with and on Qt since 2007. Before, he held several roles as employee at Trolltech (acquired by Nokia) and as a freelancer working for Qt-based automotive UIs.
2022 and 2025 the company was granted a research allowance (Forschungszulage) from the German Federal Ministry
of Resarch, Technology and Space.

Our services
We focus on implementing technical user interfaces on embedded devices, using C++, Qt and the QSkinny library. Our biggest customer is using QSkinny as a base for their agricultural UI, spanning multicle vehicles and brands. Our toolkit contains free controls like sliders, gauges and speedometers, and we have more than 10 years of experience writing custom-made technical HMIs.
Demo
Below is a sample UI using QSkinny and Qt for WebAssembly. It also runs on (embedded) Linux, Windows and macOS and is released under BSD license, i.e. free to use and modify for everybody.
